. . . . . a natural would be the LTM adaptor for the older screw mount Leica/Leitz/Voigtlander and other LTM lenses. The adaptor I purchased was a Voigtlander adaptor for $59.00 (new), but you can find these used and from other manufactures that are less expensive.I currently have a M-adapter for my Pansasonic GF-1. Question is, if I was considering supporting other 3rd party lenses, what should be my second adapter?

Drive the other direction. Pick which specific lenses you want to use and buy adapters for them, don't pick which mount you want to adapt and then buy lenses in that mount. Ideally, you want an adapter for each lens so you change lenses by using the standard Micro-FourThirds lens mount. It's much more convenient and practical to use adapted lenses that way.Rafael
Thanks for the response and the advice. I guess what I was asking was which 3rd party set of lenses would members recommend which in turn drives the type of adapter.
Just a thought

Exactly the way I was thinking, and still think. Limiting one self to one brand seems just boring. If the reason for this is to save another 20-50 currency units on an adapter it maybe even be considered stupid.Drive the other direction. (...)
There are too many good choices. (But I still have an Olympus Pen F 70mm f/2 for sale ... ! ;-)
Jonas,it maybe even be considered stupid.

Rafael,Jonas,
I would have thought that this was a friendly forum. Read the question and my post, before you call it 'stupid'
Louis explicitely asked for a "second" adapter.
And I gave the advice "try and stay with only a few lens manufacturers"
I will not further post in this thread

The Leica APO-Telyt-R 180/3.4 is a wonderful lens working very well with µ4/3 cameras. It's a bit slow with a sweet spot at f/5.6 and f/8 but the optical qualities are very much alive after all these years. (The pano in post 17 in your Panorama thread was taken with this lens)Thanks for all the advice. I must admit I had in mind the possibility of obtaining and using some of the Leica R glass which is now, imho, ridiculously cheap. In particular I have been looking at the 180/3.4 and wondering how it would work on my GF-1.
